< Psalms 103 >
1 [By David.] Praise Jehovah, my soul, and all that is within me, praise his holy name.
BY DAVID. Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And all my inward parts—His Holy Name.
2 Praise Jehovah, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits;
Bless, O my soul, YHWH, And do not forget all His benefits,
3 who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases;
Who is forgiving all your iniquities, Who is healing all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;
Who is redeeming your life from destruction, Who is crowning you [with] kindness and mercies,
5 who satisfies your desire with good things; your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Who is satisfying your desire with good, Your youth renews itself as an eagle.
6 Jehovah executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
YHWH is doing righteousness and judgments For all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.
He makes His ways known to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel.
8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
YHWH [is] merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
He does not strive forever, Nor does He watch for all time.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.
He has not done to us according to our sins, Nor according to our iniquities Has He conferred benefits on us.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
For as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness has been mighty over those fearing Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
He has put our transgressions far from us—as the distance of east from west.
13 Like a father has compassion on his children, so Jehovah has compassion on those who fear him.
As a father has mercy on sons, YHWH has mercy on those fearing Him.
14 For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
For He has known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
Mortal man! His days [are] as grass, He flourishes as a flower of the field;
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
For a wind has passed over it, and it is not, And its place does not discern it anymore.
17 But Jehovah's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children's children;
And the kindness of YHWH [Is] from age even to age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons’ sons,
18 to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
19 Jehovah has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
YHWH has established His throne in the heavens, And His kingdom has ruled over all.
20 Praise Jehovah, all you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
Bless YHWH, you His messengers, Mighty in power—doing His word, To listen to the voice of His word.
21 Praise Jehovah, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
Bless YHWH, all you His hosts, His ministers—doing His pleasure.
22 Praise Jehovah, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise Jehovah, my soul.
Bless YHWH, all you His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, YHWH!
